Partition One
1Depending on the critical, cultural tradition, or a specific criticâs perspective, as an epistemic epoch this might be clarified to the âlate-modernâ, or âmid-modernâ, for the particular vaguely nineteenth century to vaguely twentieth century period of time that is âartisticallyâ here described in active âmodernityâ (not to speak of the current critical turn towards the prefixing of âlongâ). And yet these ism constructs appear to dominate any and all of these epochal âliterary modern(/ity)â constructs.

23Members of the Oulipo at large, and in particular Georges Perec regularly denounced Robbe-Grillet as narcissistic or obscurant.
